Catholic Life and Mission: Vocation talk by Fr. Luke Wilkinson

18th February 2025

On Monday 17th February 2025, students in Sixth Form CORE RE and in Year 10 GCSE had the opportunity to interview Fr. Luke Wilkinson, who is the Vocations Promoter for the diocese of Hexham and Newcastle.

Students in both groups had prepared questions for Fr. Luke regarding his vocation, his ministry and his hobbies and interests.
Fr. Luke explored his faith, his journey from teaching to the priesthood, his training in seminary, his favourite saints and scriptural passages and his favourite parts of his amazing vocation in our diocese. Students also posed questions regarding topics we are studying in RE such as the existence of Good and Evil in the world.
We really enjoyed having Fr. Luke in at sunny St. Joseph’s and we are really grateful for his support and for inspiring our young people here at St. Joseph’s.
God bless and we hope to work with him more in the future.
